[CMC] RES: [Cesg-all] Results of Recent CMC Polls

Thu Sep 21 20:16:03 UTC 2017

Dear James and Jean-Marc,

In my previous message you received from me yesterday, related to the below mentioned subject, I felt I did miss, due to lack of time for it, at that moment, 

the inclusion of a comment on the meaning of “abstain”, in the context of our main subject. Permit me an additional comment in the direction of your 

opportune suggestion for discussion, Jean-Marc.

Classically, as we all know very well, strictly speaking, polling or voting should contemplate three options: ADOPT/YES, REJECT/NO and ABSTAIN/ELSE. 

Therefore, to be justified in its use, ABSTAIN cannot be necessarily associated to any one of the two other options. Practically speaking, I would understand 

that in the context of CCSDS polling, I would like to suggest that this third option may be included in the “CMC Polling Template”, possibly, observing the 

following modified “CMC Polling Template” form, observing the following excerpt, or like:

-----

*	Adopt
*	Adopt Provisionally (State Argument)
*	Reject
*	Reject with Comments (State Argument)
*	Abstain
*	Abstain with Premise (State Argument)

State Argument  | (box for text with argument) |

NOTE: Should an Agency miss this polling, for any internal reason, a retroactive poll from the AGENCY can be accepted after an express request (e-mail) for 

retroaction may be submitted, in a 1st opportunity, by the missing agency to the Secretariat, in principle, with Cc. to the other CMC member agencies.

| Save |     | Cancel |

----- 

In place of the current “CMC Polling Template” form:

-----

*	Adopt
*	Adopt Provisionally (State Conditions)
*	Reject
*	Reject with Comments (State Conditions)

State Conditions | (box for text with conditions) |

| Save |      | Cancel |

----- 

A suggestion for your and CMC evaluation, anyway.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Eduardo Bergamini

INPE/CCSDS

Assunto: Re: [CMC] [Cesg-all] Results of Recent CMC Polls

Bonjour James and all,

CNES vote had the meaning of “abstain” which, in the old days of the CMC was not meaning “reject”.

Could we be reminded the meaning of “abstain” from the procedures ? 

Should we add a choice for “abstain” in the epolls ? … at least it would be clear the difference between abstain on purpose and unability to vote.

Maybe this deserves a quick discussion tomorrow.

Best regards

HI Nestor,

Thank you for pointing out that the poll failed.  I think it is very appropriate if there is not enough vote to approve a poll it should fail.  I like to make sure that member agency that did not register their vote were actually disagree with the project and did not forget or were not able to vote.  If any member agency was unable to vote please let me know.

Thank you,

James
